Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: March 12, 2026

FTC Required Disclosure

Asiapicks.com participates in affiliate advertising programs. This means we earn advertising fees when you click on links on this site and make a qualifying purchase. This is how we fund the site and keep all content free for our readers.

1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a merchant (e.g., Agoda or Klook) that a visitor came from our site. When you click one of these links and complete a qualifying action — such as booking a hotel or purchasing an activity — we receive a small commission from the merchant.

The price you pay is never affected by whether you use our affiliate link. You will not pay more, and in many cases the same rates, promotions, and cancellation policies apply whether you book through us or go directly to the merchant's site.

3. How This Affects Our Content

We are committed to editorial independence. Affiliate relationships do not influence which destinations, hotels, or activities we feature or recommend. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe will benefit our readers based on:

  • Independent research and publicly available traveler reviews
  • Competitive pricing and value for money
  • Overall quality and reliability of the merchant
  • Relevance to the specific destination and traveler type

We do not accept payment from hotels, tour operators, or any other third party in exchange for guaranteed placement or positive coverage.

4. How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on Asiapicks.com are clearly marked by:

  • Buttons labeled "Check Price on Agoda", "Book on Klook", "Find Hotels", or "Book Activities"
  • Call-to-action boxes with teal (Agoda) or coral (Klook) coloring
  • All external links carry rel="nofollow" as required by Google's guidelines

If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, you can hover over it to see the full URL. Affiliate links will contain tracking parameters such as cid= (Agoda) or aid= (Klook).

5. FTC Compliance Statement

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255), and similar regulations in the United Kingdom (ASA/CAP), European Union, and Australia (ACCC), we disclose our material connections to advertisers and affiliate partners.

This disclosure applies to all content on Asiapicks.com, including blog posts, destination guides, hotel reviews, activity recommendations, and any other promotional material. It also applies to any social media, email newsletter, or other channel operated under the Asiapicks brand.

6. Earnings Disclaimer

Commission rates and affiliate program terms are subject to change at any time by the respective merchants. Asiapicks.com makes no guarantee of income or specific results from affiliate partnerships. Revenue from affiliate commissions is used to fund site development, content creation, and operational costs.
